Best Of

Fucked my hand

Everything I have feared of failing in life I have failed, Ive failed courses, assesment sessions for promising opportunities and Im not near where I wanted to be at all. Ive failed so much.

@Redemption for what it's worth bro, i think you should do the 3 month one. A two week work placement will give you actual work experience along with a good reference at the end of it, which will go a huge way with future employers, and a residential trip will make a huge difference for developing independence and getting away from your family for a short while, which i know you've had issues with family before. It sounds like a good opportunity to move forward with. From what i can tell, you've mentioned the 6 weeks course has stated they'd work with an employer, but the important thing to note is by the sounds of it, they haven't promised work experience from it, and that's a key difference. So from that side of things, the 3 month course seems to be the best option for getting work experience, getting a good reference and developing independence which can be difficult to do in controlling families. And yes, 3 months is a long time, and is a fair bit longer than the 6 weeks, but it does seem more solid than the 6 week one.

And for what it's worth bro, I have faith in you. You haven't given up, your still trying, and that's what counts.

I’m struggling and feel so behind. I was just going to do the three-month course, but then this six-week one came up, and now I’m not fully sure what to do. I’ve been offered two different courses and I’m unsure which one to choose. I saw one course today and will start another one tomorrow. They both help people get into work, and I want to pick the one that’s most likely to help me get into work quicker. On the face of it, the six-week course seems quicker because it’s much shorter, but I don’t want to do it and end up thinking I should have done the three-month one. I’m maybe leaning towards the six-week one just because it’s much shorter, whereas the three-month course means being out of work for three months, but I don’t want to regret my choice. I’m not sure what to do; I want to do whatever gets me into work and is better for me overall. I’ve done different courses before, including confidence-boosting courses, and back in June I did a course similar to the three-month course but it was only a month long and didn’t include a residential trip. I don’t want to do anything that’s a waste. I feel so behind in life, struggling to sleep, and overwhelmed juggling everything. One of the courses came at a bit of short notice. There’s so much pressure with everything, and I’m really bugging out.

I feel so pressured, especially as I’ve done things before that haven’t worked out, and I don’t want to make any more wrong decisions, though I worry I will. Christmas is approaching, and it feels like I’ve failed another year. The six-week course will involve doing activities, and they said they work with an employer, which helps people get into work. The three-month course sounds interesting, will involve doing different activities, includes a two-week work experience placement, and has a residential trip. It also helps people get into work, but three months is a long time, and the residential trip has no Wi-Fi. I only have a few days to decide, and I’m going to the six-week course tomorrow. I think no one has any faith in me anymore.

@eylah sometimes there isn't any reason, and it can be so painful and crushing. But there's a saying that i once heard, that might be comforting potentially. It's that god sometimes takes his brightest angels first. And if your mum was anything like you, god certainly picked one of the best. She's an angel now, looking down over you, and is proud of the person you are.

btw, love the profile pic

aww . this was so beautifully put. thankyou so so much @DonnerKebab . she is an angel taken to soon. hugs 🫂

@eylah i think that when that bird sat with you a week back and looked over you, that was definitely your mum as an angel, letting you know that she's still there, looking out for you, and honestly, what mum wouldn't be proud of you? You've still got that same kind heart you've always had despite all of the pain you've been through, which is something that is so incredibly rare, and that is 100% what angels are made off.

i agree. i rly think that bird was my mum. makes me sad thinking abt it bc she’s not here anymore but i had a ladybug today stay on me when i was waiting for ppl to come to my house so i think it’s definitely my mum. hru nathan? im here for you.
